@Grandpa Tokin,
Hey young man, remember a few weeks ago we were discussing 3rd to 5th week lockout and burn due to the 21 day defoliation. At the 5th week, I lowered the ppm of the Canna B and added Liquid KoolBloom still keeping ppm's low <700.
It seemed to work as this is the first time I have not had nute burn and partial to full lockout.
Still a little tip burn but nothing like in the past.
Couple of pics from my journal, day 56 of 12/12, still seeing all clear trichs.
Triple Cheese's
Ayahuasca Purple
Group shot.
This period of the grow is kind of boring, not seeing much in the way of growth like during the early grow, but the fragrance hits you hard.
As soon as I open the tent my head stops up and I begin to sneeze,
Now it is just a waiting game, waiting on the trichs to turn, waiting for the flush to finish.
I have two days worth of solution in the rez at this point and I will add three gallon of RO to the rez daily and begin lowering the EC of the rez. It is now around 700 ppm (1.4 EC) so when I add the three gallon of RO it should be around 400 to 450 ppm. Then each day add 3 gallons of RO continuing to lowering the EC/PPM's. If the PPM gets below 120 I will add CaliMagic and Epsom in small amount just to make it easier to pH.
I have been letting my pH swing during that days light cycle, starting at ~5.8 and swinging upwards to ~6.1.
Guess what I am saying is that critical period after the 21st day defo is the time to lower the EC of the rez solution until the plants have had time to recover from the trim then begin raising it again at the 4th to 5th week. At the 5th week add whatever PK product you use but still keep the EC/PPM range around 1.3/650 to 1.5/750.
I guess after all these years I have found a new fert. protocol.
